LONDON, April 26-The fight over Par
neli's alleged letter printed in The Times
grows hotter every day. The Times notic-
ing the public excitement on the subject, de-
clares that the question of the authenticity
OF the letter has been thoroughly sifted, with
the result that it is convinced that the letter
is a genuine communication from Parnell.
and that it bears Parnell's signature. Par
nell is denounced as the apostle of the dyna-
miters of America.
Many Liberals are uneasy at the attitude
of the Parnellites, and state that it will be
impossible TO act with the Irish party any
longer unless Parnell conclusively proves his
innocence Of the charge brought against him
by The Times.
AT the last cabinet council the question of
appointing parliamentary committee to in
vestigate the alleged breach of privilege by
The Times in publishing the Parnell letter
was exhaustively discussed. 1t was agreed
without dissentient to take no action in the
matter and leave the initiative to Parnell
and his friends
IL is stated that the solicitors Of the treas
ury have in their possession several letters
written by Parnell to Patrick Ford Par.
neli's signature in each of these letters Is de
clared on the testimony of handwriting ex-
perts to so closely resemble that Of the letter
published IN The Times as to throw the
gravest doubt on the statement that the let
Ter was forgery.
Parnell has gathered evidence oral and
written, for use in the event of necessity
arising, proving that the sentiments ex-
pressed in The Times letter were contrary to
those he entert aimed and expressed at tn,
time OF the P honix Park assassination.
In the house of commons Monday even
ing Bro1erick, Conservative member for
Guiidford, in reply TO direct question from
Sexton, admitted that he had in a recent
speech alluded to the fac simile letter pub
lished in The Times as "Mr Parnelrs let
ter" and stated that whenever he might hav,
occasion to refer to it In his speeches he should
| continue, in the absence of any action in &
court Of law on the part of Parnell to prov,
that it was not his letter, to 50 designate it
1t "as now popular to allude to it as "Mr
Parnell's letter" and the justice of the appel
| lation could be safely left to the affirmation
of the house the country
Sexton said he thought, in view of the fac
that Parneil had denied the authenticity o
| the publication, that Broderick, in describ
| ing it as "Parnelrs letter." was guilty of
breach of privilege, inasmuch as such desic
nation was tantamount to imputing false
| hood to Parnell
| The speaker said that Broderick had nc
referred to anything that Paruell had said o
| done in the house of commons, and the refor
| his characterization Of the letter did nc
come within the definition of breach @
| privilege.

ELECTION OF UNITED STITES
SENATOR'S.

The Evening Democrat talks some
what after this fashion in regard to
the above heading, and correctly too.
It seems as if the election of United
States senator's directly by the people
was now upon us. There is an atmos
phere Of easy acceptance of the idea
everywhere. That two-thirds of the
legislatures of all the states will recon
mend it to congress is very likely. But
will two-thirds of the u. S. senate
concur in submitting such amendment
to the legislatures? Will the Million
aire Boss Club surrender their ma
chinery to the peoplel There's the
rub. It requires two-thirds of each
house of congress to propose amend
ments The only other means OF
amendment is by the legislatures OF
two thirds of the states applying to
congress to call National Convention
for proposing amendments which
amendments must then be ratified BY
the legislatures or by constitutions
conventions of three fourths Of th'
states. L may require a great popu
lar revolution to unset the Millionaire
Bosses, but the rumbling of the popu
lar dissatisfaction over their purchas'
of that branch Of congress can plainly
be heard.

Report Of Superintendent of Pablie In.
sfFatcftOu

The seventh biennial report of the
of Public Instruction
is the most complete work of the kind
ever issued in Oregon. It is volume
Of t53 pages, and bears evidences of
careful observation and research on the
part of the author. The whole number
of persons between 4 and 20 years in
Oregon are s2,S60. There are 9,l76
pupils who attend public schools; and
the average daily attendance is 35, ,245.
There arc now over 5000 children more
who attend school than during last
year.
The Superintendent recommends that
each County Superintendent should
have regular Board of Assistant Ex'
aminers and they should be pad a
reasonable sum for their services by the
county; and that the examiners should
be practical teachers, skillful and ex-
perienced in their profession. AS ar
gument he cites the laws of nearly
every other state in the Union. He
has made numerous other suggestions
and recommendations that should be
read by the people in general; bnt it il
too true that not even our law makers
in their brief sojourn of forty days car
give these many points the amount O.
attention that their importance do
mands.

REPORTS continue TO come of the
fears of stock men for the outlook Of
their business, the grass having been fed
out. From Miles city comes the report
that last year witnessed heavy influx
of cattle brought there to winter.
Large herds were brought over pareh-
ed trail from Rio Grande, aud in their
famished condition placed in ranges
alreadyso fully stocked that only phe-
nominally mild winter could prevent
heavy losses. To make matters worse,
the calf crop was unusually large. Up
to Christmas the weather was fav-
orable and all was we'll, but since
then temperature ranging as low as
forty degrees below and binding
storms before which cattle drift in spite
of the cowboys efforts, reduces cattle
in flesh and weakens them as to make
heavy losses inevitable if bad weather
continues.

SIGLTN--W-iGER.

The Siglin- Wager tilt in the Ore
gon Senate few days since, has not
helped Mr. Slglin in the eyes of his
constituency, nor III the eyes of peo-
pie of the state of Oregon. We think
that Mr.. Sigfin manifested a sensitive
ness, that was quite suggestive of the
truth of the charges contained in the
articles in question. When Mr.. Sig
lin and his Democratic colleagues voted
for Mitchell, and elected him to the U.
S. Senate, we had supposed that was
enough, but to pose before the voters
of Coos and Curry asa democrat and
receive their suffrages as such, and
then pursue the course he has in the
Senate during this session in connec
tion with 10. Simon and Co. we think
it is rather inconsistent.

The Sixteenth annual session of the
Oregon State Temperance Alliance will
convene in Salem, Oregon, on Wednes-
day, February 18th, 1887, at 2 o'clock
p. m. Each organized County Alli-
ance is entitled to twice as many dele
gates as there are members Of the Leg
islative Assembly from that county
Also each church, Sunday school and
temperance society is entitled to one
delegate. Much depends upon this ses-
sion os the Alliance. The temperance
forces of our State are on the eve of a
great victory, Or terrible defeat. The
part each temperance and religious body
takes IN supporting and making the
State Alliances success, will have
much to do in determining which it
shall be. Then let there be strong
delegation from all parts of the State
at this session of the Alliance.
Greatly reduced rates of fare will be
granted to all delegates in attendance
by the different lines of travel within
the State. G. NJ. MILLER,
